| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads crowned and surmounted by a third larger imperial crown above. The eagle's breast bears a quartered shield with the arms of the Russian Empire. The right talon holds an orb and the left a sceptre. Six five-pointed stars are arranged around the eagle in the field, three to each side, with no peripheral legend. The design is rendered in bold relief typical of mid-18th century Russian copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and date are displayed in three lines across the central field in large Cyrillic characters: '10 / ДЕСЯТЬ / КОПѢЕКЪ' with the date '∙1762∙' below. The numeral '10' appears at the top, partially enclosed within a decorative cartouche or oval frame. The central inscription is flanked on both sides by crossed branches or laurel sprays, and the lower field features additional foliate ornamental devices. The overall composition is characteristic of the bold, functional design style employed for large copper issues of the Peter III period. |
